Inside Llewyn Davis IMDB: 7.6   Rotten Tomatoes: 95% Plot: A week in the life of Llewyn Davis, played by Oscar Isaac, a struggling folk singer in 1961 Greenwich Village New York.  Review: A rather disappointing experience, like sleeping with a stripper it's pretty but hollow. The film follows a mildly likable character that is surrounded by idiots, assholes and bitches. There is no story there is very little joy. This was one of the films I was most looking forward to, I love the Cohen brothers but this had very little that felt like them. If you are into the early 1960's folk scene you might like this if not I think you will be bored as me. Still well shot, great acting and wonderful music I'd buy the soundtrack but not watch this again. 

Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941) Plot: Young Billy Batson travels to Siam with an archeological expedition and because of his good heart is endowed with the powers of Captain Marvel when he says the magical word Shazaam! He must use his powers and his smarts to uncover the plot of The Scorpion and save his friends. Review: This is the very first film adaption of a comic book hero, and it is pretty good. The stunts and effects look good for a movie made in the 40's the pacing is good the acting is good. The story is nothing special but keeps an exciting pace throughout. As a start to watching every superhero comic book film this bodes well. If you enjoy adventure and have a tolerance for old films you will enjoy this film.
